Around the 12th century, an ancient villa known as “il castellare de Ylice” stood near our cellar. The name was probably due to the Latin term ilex (holm oak), a particular variety of oak very common in our area. To date, no trace has remained of this historic villa, but the passion and respect we have for our territory has prompted us to pass on the name of that ancient presence.
Pinot Noir Matan grows in the most prestigious areas in Montagna for this vine. Thanks to the terroir, this wine is characterized by character, elegance, delicacy and aromatic notes. The considerable temperature range between day and night, which characterizes the ripening phase of the grapes, makes this robust dark red wine, with an aroma of wild berries, particularly structured.

Wine with an intense ruby color with nuances that turn towards garnet. The nose opens with the characteristic hints of wild strawberries and raspberry, strawberry and morello cherries, with a finish of sweet spices: vanilla, sweet pipe tobacco leaf and coffee. In the mouth we find it dry, the typical tannins of Sagrantino are modulated by the freshness and good alcohol content that make it a well-structured wine. Available in different sizes (from 0.75 up to 5 liters) and in special packs (min. Two bottles) or to be packaged for original gift ideas or unforgettable memories.
Wine with an intense ruby color. This wine is the result of a perfect blend of three grape varieties: Sangiovese, Merlot and Sagrantino. The nose opens with a hint of red fruits, harmonized by the presence of Sagrantino which completes the tones with sensations of wild strawberry and raspberry. Wine with good structure and alcoholic strength, good freshness and flavor. Harmonious and well balanced wine.
It goes well with first courses with game sauces, roasts and grilled red meat.
Excellent in combination with pastry desserts, fruit tarts, homemade focaccias and even desserts with creams.
Excellent pairing with small dry pastries or typical sweets such as "fregolota".
